Explanation:
Let the 20 deviations be a
1
,a
2
,...,a
20
Therefore the observations are (30+a
1
),(30+a
2
),...,(30+a
20
)
Given that sum of the deviations is 2
Therefore, a
1
+a
2
+...+a
20
=2 ------(1)
Hence, mean=
20
(30+a
1
)+(30+a
2
)+...+(30+a
20
)
⟹mean=
20
a
1
+a
2
+...+a
20
+20(30)
⟹mean=
20
2+20(30)
(from (1))
⟹mean=
20
